2 fines in 2 days

So, when I decided to get on the bike and ride into central London last week I did not think it could be this expensive. 2 x £60 fines.

I seem to have riden into two areas that are for buses only. On both occasions I was in heavy traffic and was lost and could not see the sign due to a bus being in the way. On both occasions I realised my mistake and quickly and safely came out of that lane.

Do I have any right to appeal, apart from any moral right I have for simply making a mistake?

Its called stealth tax.Done by a scamera were you?Welcome to the big brother state.

Yes, 4 pictures of me on each letter.

All of these.

No leg to stand on mate, I tried to get out of a parking fine on reasonable grounds (I parked outside my own house in a dead end off another dead end! In nobodies way!) but they don't see it as that, just right and wrong. Bad luck

Another reason why, one day, very soon the government will all be killed. Probably by me, and with a rusty spoon. It's outrageous mate.

But hasn't The Hair of London allowed bikes to use the bus lanes?

Not all, plus it takes ages for the legislation to come through properly!

Whats the penalty for fake plates again?

wander over to www.pepipoo.com and they will be able to tell you whether you can appeal or not. I assume you've already paid. If you haven't there is more you can do, and head over there asap.
